Wheelbase: The Car for the Alps

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the Geneva Motor Show with Bernard Cahier and Judith Jackson

The Swiss buy cars for mountain motoring and all this week at the Geneva Motor Show every manufacturer in Europe has been trying to sell them a new model. Do the gradients of the Alps influence their choice of gear ratios and steering? Will the price of petrol - a shilling a gallon cheaper than in most places on the Continent - persuade drivers in Switzerland to buy big-engined cars with plenty of uphill power in 1969?
